Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for encoding, storing, transmitting and decoding multimedia information in the form of scalable, streamed digital data. A base stream containing basic informational content and subsequent streams containing additive informational content are initially created from standard digital multimedia data by a transcoder. Client computers, each of which may have different configurations and capabilities are capable of accessing a stream server that contains the scalable streamed digital data. Each different client computer, therefore, may access different stream combinations according to a profile associated with each different client computer. Thus, the streams accessed from the server are tailored to match the profile of each client computer so that the best combination of streams can be provided to maximize the resolution of the 3D, audio and video components.

Abstract: A data storage system has an administrator tool (46) that presents an existing Logical Storage Unit (LUN) arrangement composed of one or more types of LUNs and an available capacity for the existing LUN arrangement. The administrator tool provides a graphical user interface (UI) (48) that allows the administrator to propose different configurations with one or more additional hypothetical LUNs, without in fact creating them. The UI (48) provides a set of controls representative of the different LUN types. The administrator can graphically manipulate the controls to vary characteristics of the hypothetical LUNs. As the administrator manipulates the controls, the system dynamically computes available capacity assuming a LUN arrangement that includes both the existing LUNs and the hypothetical LUNs. The graphical UI reports the changing available capacity as a response to the administrator's manipulation so that the administrator can gain an appreciation of how the hypothetical LUNs might affect available capacity. Assuming there is sufficient available capacity, the administrator can direct the system to create new LUNs having the same characteristics of the hypothetical LUNs. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The breakdown services have many task involving the unlocking of automobile doors. The problem is normally solved by pressing a wedge-shaped element down between the door window and the rubber sealing strip which abuts against the window, whereby access can be gained for the insertion of an unlocking tool without having to remove the sealing stip. However, the downwards insertion of the wedge-shaped element can give rise to damage to the sealing strip. This is avoided with the process according to the invention, in that instead of the wedge, use is made of a flat, inflatable pillow element of flexible, distensible material. The flat pillow element is easy to insert downwards, and by a subsequent inflation it will press directly outwards on the sealing list without at the same time scraping against the list.

Abstract: A form driven operating system which permits dynamic reconfiguration of any host processor into a virtual machine which supports any of a number of operating system independent applications. A data transaction assembly server (TAS) downloads menus and forms which are unique to each application requiring data to be input for local or remote processing. The data transactions and forms are exchanged between the TAS, which functions as a form driven operating system of the host computer, and a remote processor in a real-time fashion so that virtually any operating system independent software application may be implemented in which a form driven operating system may be used to facilitate input, and in which the data input into the form may be processed locally or remotely, returned as a data stream, and displayed to the user. The TAS merely requires a flash PROM for storing the TAS control firmware, a RAM for storing the data streams making up the forms and menus, and a small RAM which operates as an input/output transaction buffer for storing the data streams of the template and the user replies to the prompts during assembly of a data transaction.

Abstract: Titanium based metal matrix composites reinforced with ceramic particulate are well known, based on a blend of titanium alloy powders with ceramic powders, e.g., aluminum oxide powders, utilizing a low energy ball milling process, followed by cold compacting and sintering to produce an appropriate composite. This prior art process is disadvantaged from the point of view that there are virtually no particles in the blend below the micrometer size range, which lack has a deleterious effect on the subsequent processing of the composite. This problem has been overcome by utilizing dry high energy intensive milling in the process, which has the effect of providing the necessary number of small particles below the micrometer size range as well as enhancing the reactivity of different particles with one another. In order to produce a titanium base alloy alumina metal matrix composite, titanium dioxide powder is blended with aluminum powder and subjected to dry high energy intensive milling until the separate particle phases achieve a size of 500 nanometers maximum. The intermediate powder product is then heated to form the titanium alloy/amumina metal matrix composite in which the ceramic particles have an average diameter of no more than 3 mu, and the oxide consists of more than 10% and less than 60% by volume fraction of the total composite. The composites have extensive application to tough and strong engineering alloys.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de former une couche de verre de silice synthétique ayant une pureté élevée sur la surface d'un substrat en verre ayant des propriétés physiques et/ou chimiques différentes de la couche de haute pureté. Un précurseur de la silice est brûlé dans un brûleur et la silice obtenue est déposée sur le substrat en verre à une température suffisamment élevée pour former un couche cohérente de verre de silice exempte de pores, ne requérant pas de frittage ultérieur. Avantageusement, le substrat en verre est composé de la silice contenant une multiplicité de microbulles; de préférence la couche déposée est suffisamment épaisse pour permettre un dégrossissage ultérieur afin d'obtenir une finition lisse sans exposer les microbulles. L'invention concerne également un brûleur pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé, ledit brûleur ayant un canal central d'écoulement (20) de charge d'alimentation ( du siloxane, par exemple) substantiellement entouré coaxialement de canaux d'écoulement (27, 28, 21, 22) transportant, séquentiellement à partir du canal central d'écoulement (26), de l'hydrogène et de l'oxygène (22, 25, 28).

Abstract: L'invention vise à réduire nettement les gauchissements des tranches de plaquettes en semiconducteur, sans pour autant affecter l'adhérence sur le matériau de substrat. A cet effet, il est prévu un nouveau système de métallisation de la face arrière, dans lequel, en partant du silicium (1) en direction du substrat (2), une couche d'aluminium (3) et une couche faisant barrière à la diffusion, constituée de titane (4), sont appliquées avant le brasage. Une couche de nitrure de titane (5) est placée dans la couche de titane, car il s'est avéré que cette couche de nitrure de titane pouvait compenser une grande partie des gauchissements des tranches. De préférence, le recuit employé habituellement pour améliorer le contact ohmique entre la couche d'aluminium et le semiconducteur de silicium, n'est pas réalisé après la métallisation complète du semiconducteur mais après dépôt d'une fine couche d'aluminium sur le semiconducteur de silicium.
